Toilet paper has been stripped from shelves at grocery stores, while cafes and restaurants have shifted back to takeaway options as the snap three-day lockdown in Queensland begins.

Amid panic buying at some supermarkets, Coles has implemented temporary restrictions, limiting customers to two bags of toilet paper and two boxes of masks per purchase. 

A coles spokesperson has asked that customers stay calm, shop normally and be respectful to the hard-working team members.
